Cruises are usually very spectacular and enjoyable holiday option which appeals to thousands of travelers each year. Even though packing is not rocket science, a few tips on how to prepare could be useful.

Many 'professional' cruise devotees are well aware of what to expect from their holiday, firstimers may find any hints and tips more than useful. The website Bonvoyage.co.uk has recently introduced a few basic guidelines regarding savvy preparation which will contribute to an enjoyable cruise experience.

Spending time on deck means being in the sun. The sun at sea is much stronger and trickier than one expects and while the wind seems a godsend, it doubles the sun effect on skin. Sun screen is an absolute must; of course, the shops on board will offer a wide selection, however, with a higher price tag, too.

There are many fun activities on offer, yet a simple afternoon spent reading a good book is hard to beat. Great books will make a trip even better. Also, tour books are very useful in terms of planning the visits on dry land.

A small detail which makes a huge difference: plug adapters. It means being always prepared no matter what cruise ship one enters. Another useful tip is bringing travel pills; while cruise liners are massive, one can still feel them move and children tend to have a difficult time dealing with it.

Speaking of health, travel insurance definitely belongs on the top of the list; ironically, a high number of passengers choose to completely ignore this fact.

A cruise holiday presents a golden opportunity to dress up and enjoy the experience. Diverse clothing is one of the most practical pieces of advice for new passengers – being equipped for trekking in rough terrain, exploring meandering streets of historical cities, attending an evening ball or a cocktail party is a smart choice.
